LOL yeah NO. almost every single model of the Samsung Galaxy is massive outsold the pi, from that alone you can safely say they aren't including smartphones or even most computer lines, actually the whole claim looks to be bullshit as they are comparing multi pi versions against a single version of one system.
fucking retard, you are a prime example of why measles outbreaks still occur in the 21st century, go get an education instead of believing any shit you read on the internet.
(I challenge anyone here to name a remake that was better than the original.)
That isn't even a challenge, Batman, body snatchers, the thing, true grit, Ocean's eleven, Scarface and many more, I am sure you don't agree with all but would be shocked if you didn't think the remake was better for at least a couple of those. Just because they create a lot of lemons doesn't mean there aren't some great remakes.
it isn't laziness, it is cost. creating a movie of significant size and scale nowadays is a bank busting experience even for the major studios and gambling ones business on unproven material is a seriously balllsy risk that fewer and fewer are willing to make (no it being a good book doesn't necessarily mean it will be a successful movie). Would you gamble everything you had on an idea that you think may sell? many people do, but as the amount you have to gamble goes up your less and less likely to do it, especially when their are safe bets.
no it doesn't, but it is not exactly a huge community. What they need to be comparing is time in industry, experience levels and skillsets, having more degrees does make them out qualify someone with less degrees. I would be surprised if proper comparison showed a disparity in pay levels, who knows maybe it does but the point is this study is looking at incorrect measurements. Woman certainly are under represented in the industry as a whole and I think part of that does come down to the culture. But some of the results are also a little twisted. They claim that men a 4 times more likely to hold C level and exec level positions and 9 times more like to hold management positions and seem to spin this as a negative, yet according to the study only 11% are women, this means they are actually over represented in these higher level positions not underrepresented.
perhaps you might want to do a little more research, The EU has better freedom of speech laws than the US and have been their as a fundamental part of the orginal formation of the EU. In addition to this most EU countries also have laws or constitutions that also grant freedom of speech.
the problem is they become the arbiters of truth and no fucking way should a company be making such decisions. I think we have had enough of "alternative facts", people have a right to decide for themselves what is true and what is not. Yes holocaust deniers are one of the worst example of people trying to change history for their warped view, you address that through information and communication not through artificial censorship.
comparing education levels and pay in cybersecurity makes me immediately question this studies conclusions. Anyone working in this industry will be aware that beyond your first job interview your degrees mean less than nothing. Experience and industry knowledge is what earns pay levels in cybersecurity and I am not aware of any of my female colleagues that get paid less for the same job.
Actually I find fried mushroom is the perfect Steak Accompaniment! I even grow my own, while delicious they are still no substitute for high quality meat (which coming from a farming background I have access to, not the shit you get in the supermarket).
yes I did, well actually my brother did as he is the electrical engineer as he wondered the same thing as my luck was just too awful to be believable, and it is not like they are low end cheap power supplies anyway, mix of seasonic, corsair and ANTEC.
nothing wrong with the power in house. every electrical cable outlet, light and appliance etc was replaced 3 years ago due to a direct lightning strike on my house (no I did not include all the machines that died from the lightning strike in my count) and I have had failures both pre and post that event. I have a lot of electronic gear and much of it far more sensitive than SSD's which haven't failed. I know others that have had nothing but perfection from SSD's, just my bad luck I guess. We live in a place with very reliable power supply, I think the last unscheduled outage was maybe 4 or 5 years ago during a major storm.
the problem with vegetarian curry etc (while very tasty and something I do regularly have) is it doesn't actually satisfy the desire/craving many of us have for a juicy steak or roast leg of lamb or other meat dish which is also why they all try to emulate the taste of meat (badly). Until an offering actually addresses that craving then Meat will continue to be a food of choice for many, myself included.
As long as it tastes good. And no being close enough or not to bad is not good enough. The disgusting bland tasting substitutes many in the vege community keep trying to say taste just as good have their taste buds in their arse as far as I am concerned. grow me something that tastes as good and I will happily eat that instead whether it is plant or lab grown.
Unlike you I am not a douchebag arsehole and I do not impose my will on my wife, happy to inform her and do anything technical for her but she is her own boss so no I don't touch her machine nor do I even have access to it except when asked. I have repeatedly explained the importance of backups and offered her assistance to perform said backups but sadly until this incident it fell on death ears. Had been having the same problem getting her to backup her iPhone, thankfully this incident also got her to finally start doing that too.
No the job is VERY FUCKING relevant. The question is did the conditions make it impossible to fulfil the duties as described in his job description. If no, then he was given a very shitty deal, if yes then he was the one with unrealistic expectations in turning up on the first day of a job and expecting to be able to redefine the job requirements.
Ok, then I'm pretty sure you can come up with a scenario where someone agreeing to work beyond his normal working hours from home is a reason to fire him.
easy. this was the cyber security team at BAE, a well known defense supplier. If he was hired as part of a incident response team dealing with classified environments with his role then he could easily have requirements to come into the office after hours as many environments cannot be accessed remotely. I have had that exact scenario myself working with another defense contractor.
Surely if you were recruiting for a job which requires someone to be physically available after hours (or travel away from home half the month, or whatever) this would be discussed at the interview, and put in the job contract?
yes I would expect it in the job contract and really that is the question, what was the job contract description he signed up to? without knowing that you can't say who is being unreasonable here
yeah I call bullshit on that. If that was the case then why was HR called in to talk to him? More likely the supervisor was too polite to relay the truth and asked HR to do it. until we see both sides of this in court I will remain highly sceptical as the story has too holes it to be 100% believable at this point.
you are only hearing one side of this tale at this point. maybe he is 100% correct and she was being a megabitch and backed by pure evil or more likely it was a bit of both with him exaggerating what was actually said as really when have you ever heard of a position that requires you to be in the office 24/7? Also he was working in cryptography for BAE I seriously doubt this would even be work you would be permitted to take home and work on even if they were willing to be really nice and sympathetic.
impossible to know whether this is a case of an evil company or a case of a self entitled git without knowing what was the conditions of employment he was knowingly signing up to. e.g. if they said in job description "must be available oncall 24/7" and that included coming to office then I can understand him having his job offer rescinded regardless of his personal circumstances. Work-Life balance is all about providing that balance outside of the expected job requirements and sometimes flexibility inside job requirements (but not always).

For fucks sake retard go back in your fucking hole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Oh really? Me thinks someone must not be old enough to remember past 10 years ago then, hell Gateway went belly up best part of 15 years ago now.

no that is the support contract for security fixes, windows 7 support for new features, changes etc finished in 2013.
I must say that was my exact reaction to reading it, whoever wrote that really needs to get some perspective, perhaps a nice car analogy.
yep that is the point. Just like the vaccines don't work otherwise vaccinated people wouldn't get them argument.
